Update on my 125g. Had a plant die off because of 2 big ass water changes that essentially shocked them to death. Plants are making a comeback. Still got some empty spots to fill in. EBA's are looking good as ever.

I wont have as many tanks as I did at my old place. Currently have my 125g and 40b set up. 125g for my Electric Blue Acara's. 40b for my rhizome plants and orange neo shrimp, endlers and pygmy cory cats. I got a 180g setup because the price was too good to pass up. Havent decided what I'm going to do with it. Might move all the stuff from my 40b into it and just have a massive shrimp tank.

Color temperature has no effect on plant growth. Use whatever looks good to your eye.

For something of that height, you will need a strong light. Your MH will work or even led flood lights.
If youre getting into plants, The DFW-APC is a great plant club to join for the area.
